Deck of Death

Deck of Death

POSTED ON BEHALF OF JINGLES (IN THE QUEEN’S ENGLISH): 

14 men gathered at the Weddington campus for an auspicious occasion, Jingles’ VQ. Wrestled with the original theme for the workout of “Life of a Six” or “View from the back of the pack” but with Posse’s encouragement went with Deck of Death.

Warm Up :

• Mosey to East Side of HS for warmup and disclaimer provided
• SSH x 16 IC
• IW x 16 IC
• Merkins x 16 IC
• Mountain Climbers x 16 IC
• Potato Pickers x 16 IC

The Thang :

Proceed to cafeteria (ED. NOTE:  Snack Shop) across the bridge by the track for a fun time playing cards. Took a small detour enroute to get in some air presses and Moroccan Night Clubs whilst doing the wall sit.

Card activities commenced (ED. NOTE:  Began) with the following guidelines, cards were picked and face value of card denotes the number of reps.

• Clubs – Burpees – OYO
• Spades – Merkins IC
• Hearts – Box Jumps  OYO
• Diamonds – Dips IC
• J,K,Q were all 10 reps
• Aces – 1 lap of track

Plank between sets whilst waiting for Q or until the PAX regrouped

With 8 minutes left and a  few cards in the deck  Ace of spades miraculously appeared at the top of the pile and PAX did 1 last lap before heading back to COT for some LBC and flutters in honor of BC – (note – dealer always wins)

Moleskine:

Pre run particpants Hollywood, Damascus, Goodfella surprised by an early Jingles setting up the main event.

The Watchtower PAX pushed for the attendance record with a 14 man turnout. I’m sure all were apprehensive about back to back VQ’s (well done Xerox). YHC normally arrives post disclaimer and so, much to the PAX surprise we started on time.

The usual musical interlude was not available but next time will try to have varied musical selection of differing tastes, Scottish tunes, reggae etc. Anyway, it all served to encourage some usual banter amongst the PAX.

Moneyball closed in prayer.

It has been an honor serving with this group for a while and was nervously excited when voluntold by Posse but could not say no (even though he Q jacked Foundation)

Great work by PAX today who are all now very fond of cards and will be off to Vegas soon
